Here is what students had to say about this experience:
“I learned about dealing with apathy in a chapter and how to not burnout with it as a leader.”
“I learned a lot about better recruitment tactics, how to engage with unaffiliated men.”
“Truly connecting (aka being friends) with your members can enhance and strengthen community and sisterhood vibes.”
“I learned about leading by example, I have to act first for others to follow.”
“Connecting with fellow chapter leaders and other FSL leaders gives us the chance to brainstorm and work through ideas and give each other ideas. I have so many amazing ideas to bring back from what other schools have done.”
“I learned about creating more equitable standards to be a better leader and hold people accountable.”
Monica Paz, a junior and Chapter President of Kappa Alpha Theta, and Taylor Ritzert, Coordinator of SLICE, participated as a team in the Order of Omega Case Study Competition in the Student/Staff track. The pair received a case study surrounding incidents alleging sexual misconduct by two fraternities that were anonymously posted to social media. Monica and Taylor had less than 24 hours to compose a 15-minute presentation including an analysis of the issues, a response to the incident, and considerations from various university staff and stakeholders. Monica and Taylor received first place in the case study competition for their work. Congratulations Monica and Taylor!
